MIDI Designer's Dan Rosenstark is back with another preview of the features coming to MIDI Design 1.3.7

MIDI Designer 1.3.7 adds several new and interesting features. In the current video I go over:

Slide to Reverse

Snap to Default (on release)

Send on Release Only

Snap to Value

Snap to default and snap to value have two settings -- constant speed or constant time -- and have a variable speed from 25ms to 16 seconds, so you can get a lot more variation than you see in this video.

Last week we saw a tutorial for setting up Snap to Value. They have also set up a Q&A site for support questions.

To help celebrate Everyone Can Play Music's 1st Birthday, Bit Shape has provided me with 5 Promo-Codes for TC-11! I think this is a great fit. People who have been following the series will be able to fully appreciate the awesome power in TC-11!

I really want these to go to people who will make use of it!

TC-11 developer Bit Shape has put out a much needed tutorial on playing notes with the innovative Multi-Touch Synth. This is the tutorial many people have been waiting for! I get a lot of questions from folks who watched my review wondering, "So... how do I control all this?!" Wonder no more!

Jordan is in his element today, with a tounge-in-cheek look at his latest Wizdom Music app.

Tachyon is designed to let you graphically morph between two sounds. The iPad surface is used as a multitouch XY interface, where the x-axis controls pitch and the y-axis controls the blend of two different sounds.

Despite the goofiness and gimmickry, this looks like it could be interesting! Morphing between instruments is always fun, and using the X/Y interface seems like a very fluid way to play. A price and release date have not yet been announced.

Yonac Software has announced Magellan, a pompously sub-titled "professional analog modelling synthesizer" for the iPad. The features here are highly impressive, and have even got the notoriously tough Synthtopia crowd in an optimistic mood.

I like the features, but I'm not feeling optimistic after hearing that. Yonac has kind of a weird history on iOS. They were one of the first to release a serious synth for the iPad, and that has been a double-edged sword. Some people feel their miniSynth is garbage and others regard it fondly. The last time I posted about it their was a lot of controversy, including the first and only time I've had to ban someone.

No word on when this is going to be available, so all we can do is speculate wildly!

Update: I just noticed that friend/sponsor of the site Sunsine is doing the factory presets for this. They have a much better demo on their own Soundcloud page.
